218 MAESTJPIALIA. 



the 'Extinct Mammals of Australia/ pi. Ixxxv. fig. 6. 

 The slightly worn condition of the cheek-teeth makes the 

 length of the series relatively longer than in the preceding 

 specimen. Presented by Br. George Bennett, 1886. 



35967. Hinder part of the right ramus of the mandible, containing 

 (Fig.) the last three true molars (m. 2 imperfect) ; from Gowrie. 

 Figured by Owen in the ' Phil. Trans.' 1874, pi. xxv. 

 figs. 11-13, and also in the ' Extinct Mammals of Aus- 

 tralia,' pi. Ixxxv. figs. 11-13. The talon to m. 4 is very 

 slight. Presented by Sir B. Oooper, Bart., 1866. 



M. 48. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible, containing the 

 last three true molars ; from Queensland. The talon to 

 ^74 is scarcely perceptible. 



Presented by G. F. Bennett, Esq., 1880. 



40003. Fragment of the right ramus of the mandible, showing m. 3 

 and m. 4 ; from Queensland. The talon of m, 4 is almost 

 imperceptible. Presented by Sir B. Cooper, Bart., 1866. 



M. 42. The anterior part of the left ramus of the mandible, showing 

 pm. 4 and the alveolus of the incisor ; from Queensland. 



Presented by G. F. Bennett, Esq., 1880. 



M. 41. Fragment of the left ramus of the mandible of an immature 

 individual, showing pm. 3, mm. 4, m. 1, and m, 2, and pm. 4 

 in alveolo ; from Queensland. Same history. 



50063. Part of the right ramus of the mandible of a young indivi- 

 dual, showing pm. 3 (imperfect), mm. 4, m. 1, and m. 2 in 

 use, and pm. 4 in alveolo ; from Queensland. 



Presented by G. F. Bennett, Esq., 1879, 



Macropus minor (Owen '). 



Syn. Sthenurus minor, Owen ^. 



Although the name M. minor is preoccupied by a synonym of 

 Potorous tridactylus {Hypsiprymnus murinus) it seems inadvisable to 

 apply a new one to the present form. 



This species is of smaller size than the last, and is distinguished 

 by the proportionately shorter pm. 4, and the relatively narrower 

 upper true molars. 



ffab. New South Wales and Queensland.
